Maranoa Carers Groups
The task of caring for a person at home often falls to a close relative or a friend and can be complex and demanding - and often made more difficult through the lack of understanding and support. Carers often find their life is no longer their own, their relationships are put on hold and their leisure time gradually disappears. The people who are most likely to know how to help and who understand how you are feeling are those who have had similar experiences. The Maranoa Carers Groups offers support in a number of ways by providing an opportunity for Carers to:
- enjoy some time out
- learn more about the changes and challenges of care giving
- share experiences with others in a supportive environment
- make new friends through regular social gatherings
- assist and encourage one another
The Maranoa Carers Groups organise special social events as well as meeting monthly for Support Sessions.
For information about meeting dates and times contact the Manager of Maranoa House on 03 8809 4979. If the phone is unattended please leave your name and contact details so we can return your call as soon as possible.
